"To call this book a page turner is to almost diminish its importance. It is a once-in-a-generation read. Patrick McGee not only narrates the epic history of Apple, but explains how, in effect, it got taken over by China, the world's greatest illiberal power." - Robert D. Kaplan, author. "Deeply researched, disturbing, and enlightening.
